Elbow Artery Embolization for Lateral Epicondylitis

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is characterized by a low-grade inflammatory process in the lateral aspect of the elbow. Symptoms are typically treated conservatively, and most patients show resolution or improvement of symptoms within a few months. For those with refractory symptoms, treatment options are limited with questionable benefit. Embolization of the arteries supplying the elbow decreases the neo-vascularity seen in epicondylitis. The procedure may result in marked improvement in pain and function, which has shown to be durable. Tech Vasc Interventional Rad 26:100881 (c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
